    no, some have disk mounts, some dont, no way of figuring a big or small drum..

    the nrg wheel is a small drum wheel. runners use the big drum (typhs have both in 125)

    take a pic, i/we can tell you instantly

    Simple solution - Break out your caliper, and measure the drum.

    The small drum is 100mm, and the big one is 110mm.

    NRG rims can be classified like this; If it's a small drum (100mm), its an MC2 rim (At least in my part of the world), and if its with the large drum (110mm), it's an MC3 rim.

    A bit offtopic - If you're looking for the best manouverability vs. stability, go for some nice 12" runner rims - They hit both sections imo.
    And they have a bigger selection of tires (Again - This applies to my part of the world anyways).

    Another bit of OT;
    Piaggio/Gilera rims are a bit of a mystery for most people (me included), and theres a gazillion variations out there. Let me know if you want a breakdown of the rims i know about, maybe we could even get a database over what kinda rims would fit what engines?

    on the contrary.....

    the typhoon 50 has a small drum at 100 and a big drum at 110.. these are considderd small and undersized in england.. the gilera and late typhoon 125 has a 200mm drum.

    the 100 drum is VERRY rare over here and you dont see man y of them.. i have one.. erm, dont know anyone else wiht one. most typhoons/zips last 10 years max over here befor there scrap/blown/cracked or crashed.
